Moist, delicious cake that your friends won't know is healthier for them than the regular version! My mother-in-law made this for my birthday, based on a regular recipe with Splenda substitutes and adding a box of sugar free pudding to keep moisture in the cake.

Dough was very thick and hard to spread. Ugly on the way in/out of the oven, once flipped over presentation was improved. Cake was pancake texture in the mouth, but taste was pleasant. Serving size small in my opinion, I served hot with 1/4 cup low fat ice cream!! 175 cal for dessert is great!

Registered just to warn people. I have no idea how this recipe has good ratings. The batter was thick like pizza dough. I had to add extra liquid. After baking it was the consistency of a thick, pasty, biscuit custard. Just awful. Only salvaged by serving as a sub par cobbler with lots of ice cream.

Not sure if any of the other reviewers actually made this recipe but I followed it exactly and the batter came out as a clumpy mess. More like dumpling or biscuit batter than cake batter. It was almost impossible to work with.

Sounds good but the title is misleading - "Brown Sugar Blend" IS still sugar. The marachino cherries have plenty of sugar too. Maybe it should be called "lower sugar" not "no sugar added". You can also substitute all purpose flour with whole wheat pastry flour to make it even more healthy!

This recipe is very good and a great alternative to the regular recipe. I didn't use sugar substitutes as I can't have them. I also used a lowfat coconut milk which made it decadent! LIght and moist! Way to go!!
